Further exciting new improvement works are to be carried out on Concordia Leisure Centre in Cramlington over the coming months. 

Work is due to start in early November to replace the glass walling along the front of the leisure centre and renew the flat roof area. 

Both have been in place since the building was opened and are old and worn and in need of replacement due to serious water ingress.  

The work will be funded by Northumberland County Council and will be phased to minimise any disruption to customers. It is expected to take eight weeks to complete and during this time the centre will be open and operational as normal. 

Northumberland County Councillor, Jeff Watson, Cabinet member for promoting healthy lives said: 

“The council has made a massive investment in leisure facilities right across the county to upgrade facilities so that our residents have accessible, enjoyable and modern centres that they really love using.” 

“In 2019 we carried out a major upgrade and refurbishment of the swimming pool and changing areas in Concordia, which breathed new life into the centre and has proved enormously popular. More recently the sports hall flooring has been renewed. 
 

“Over next few months we will be investing in the external fabric of the building to smarten up its appearance and to make sure it is sound and secure.” 

 
Mark Warnes, Chief Executive of Active Northumberland added: 

“These improvements will also help towards our energy efficiency at the centre, reduce our utility bills, and help in our drive towards zero carbon targets by the year 2030.”
